Yi Liu's challenge came too suddenly, and Lee Xun's challenge was even more straightforward. The crowd that was originally here to welcome Duanmu Ruoxue had all become witnesses to the battle between the two in the front. Everyone knew that in the few remaining kingdoms, Sword Soul Continent was not something to be trifled with, and each of them had trump cards that would shock all the large empires. And all of these kingdoms, without exception, had one characteristic, which was that the people from the direct line of descent of their royal family, were practically all geniuses amongst cultivators.

There was a rumor that Yi Liu was a demon who killed people without batting an eye. More than a hundred thousand people died in his hands. However, there were also rumors that Yi Liu often appeared in the Demonic Beast Mountain and those bloodthirsty Demonic Beast. However, every time people saw this not lacking in elegance, their faces would pale, and they would look somewhat sickly, all of them jeering at the rumors for being too preposterous.

However, there was one thing that everyone was sure of, which was that Yi Liu's strength was something that very few of the young people could compare to. A few young experts who had openly challenged Yi Liu previously had been easily defeated by him. Today, this was the first time he had heard of Yi Liu taking the initiative to challenge someone of the same generation. Everyone began to guess the origins of Lee Xun. There was no one surnamed Li in those kingdoms, but there were two surnamed Li in the underworld clans, but it had been many years since they last heard of any young genius, could it be that he had just appeared in those two kingdoms?

There were eight young men and four women sitting around an extremely elegant room. The men were all handsome and the women were gorgeous, but their expressions were different.

The four women chatted and laughed merrily. The four men, however, seemed to have their own thoughts.

"Lee Xun, thank you for your warning, but as long as Ruoxue is not married, I will not give up." Yu Sen said in a heavy voice.

"This is your freedom. I still have to say the same words: 'Fate is determined by the heavens, the world must not force it'. If you can really be together with Ruoxue, I will also bless you."

Originally, he had always been the main character among the numerous pursuers of Duanmu Ruoxue, but today, he was used as a foil. Even though he understood the logic behind Lee Xun's words, he, with his vanity, chose to pursue Duanmu Ruoxue in the end to redeem the face he had lost today.

From this point, it could be seen that he was not as free and easy as Yi Liu. The reason why Lee Xun agreed to Yi Liu's challenge was because he admired Yi Liu's decisiveness. After all, no matter how strong Yi Liu was, he would at most be able to contend against Human Rank experts. Although he could feel that the violent killing intent in Yi Liu's body was very frightening, it was precisely because he could clearly feel it that Yi Liu was inferior to him.

"Lee Xun, I really never thought that that madman Yi Liu would actually issue a challenge to you, and you actually accepted it with ease. Mo Lin asked.

"Hehe, he's very strong, but I admit that I'm not weak, if he doesn't even dare to accept a challenge, then how will he continue to stay in Rotterdam? Don't you think so? " Lee Xun laughed.

"Lee Xun, I suggest that you don't accept the challenge. We can all sense your strength, although you are stronger than us, your Eleventh Rank is still stuck at that level. Maybe if you learn some kind of secret technique, you can increase your strength for a short period of time. Even many of the elite disciples in the young generation of the top-notch forces have lost to him. From the information that we have, other than Jiuyou Profound Sect, there are a total of thirty-seven people in the younger generation of the other four peak rankers that have fought him, but he has never lost a single battle, only suffered heavy injuries five times. If you go, aren't you just asking for trouble? " Yu Sen was a little worried for Lee Xun. However, what he was more worried about at that moment was that Lee Xun would win. If that was the case, then Lee Xun must be a very talented person.

"Puchi." Duanmu Ruoxue laughed.

"Stupid girl, well said, why are you smiling?" The woman who spoke wore a jade green dress. Her delicate and fair skin emitted an enviable healthy lustre. She was like an orchid, elegant and pure. This woman was Shangguan Jing'er, and she also had many pursuers. However, after hearing Duanmu Ruoxue's notification today, she secretly came over first.

"It's nothing, I just feel that there's someone worrying about nothing, Lee Xun will not lose." Duanmu Ruoxue said.

Duanmu Ruoxue's words caused everyone to be stunned. Now that everyone knew what he was doing, Lee Xun was brought to Rotterdam by Duanmu Ruoxue, and he was announced as a guest of the Duanmu Clan. This word "expensive" wasn't just casually used by large clans like Duanmu Clan. It was generally used to indicate that this person's identity was above their own.

"Ruoxue, are you that confident in Lee Xun?" Shangguan Jing'er asked.

"I only said that he won't lose, I didn't say that he will definitely win." Seeing Lee Xun signalling him with his eyes, Duanmu Ruoxue did not dare to say more, and could only deliberately mystify herself.

"Hehe, Ruoxue still understands me, my biggest characteristic is that I run really fast. If I can't beat him in time, I'll just run away. If he can't catch me, then it can't be considered as him winning against me. At most I'll run home and pick up my wife and come back when everything is quiet. However, at that time, don't laugh at me. " Lee Xun naturally cooperated.

However, no one believed Lee Xun's words. Someone who could receive the honorifics of the Duanmu Clan would flee in a challenge? Furthermore, when Lee Xun accepted the challenge, he did not even consider it and agreed without hesitation. Without a lot of confidence, it would be hard to explain. This was also the source of Yu Sen's worry. At that time, Lee Xun was too confident.

For example, Duanmu Ruoxue. Because Lee Xun spoke up for her today, although Lee Xun did not accept her, it showed that he was worried for her. Some of them didn't even know what was going on, so naturally, Yu Sen was one of them. He was a little scared to begin with, but after failing to catch Han Meiji this morning, he could faintly sense that something was wrong with Han Meiji. Han Meiji was very happy today, or perhaps it was because she was too happy, and there was not a trace of melancholy in her eyes. It was just that they had not seen each other for one night, and she seemed to have completely changed. Bao Wei couldn't be sure, but he couldn't tell what it was for.

Since they were going to participate in the eight o'clock auction, the time was about right. Thus, everyone ended the somewhat comical dinner.

"Lee Xun, will you be with us at the auction later, or will you be with Ruoxue and the rest?" Yu Sen asked, but his expression was clearly a little unnatural.

"Hehe, of course I'm going to stay with you guys. There's nothing much to talk about with them." Lee Xun blurted out these words. Although he had caused the four women to roll their eyes at him, Yu Sen felt slightly more at ease. After careful observation, he discovered that Duanmu Ruoxue actually had a good impression of Lee Xun, but Lee Xun didn't care at all. saying that he had a wife made Yu Sen feel that it was too advantageous for her, because with his understanding of Duanmu Ruoxue, she would definitely not become his concubine. But even though he guessed correctly, he did not expect that Duanmu Ruoxue herself had already crossed that threshold. Now that Lee Xun had said that he would go to the same room with the three of them without even thinking about it, it was natural that he was more certain of his judgement. Lee Xun would not be together with Duanmu Ruoxue, so his good impression of Lee Xun was only temporary.

Under the lead of a group of guards, they arrived at a large auditorium like building. They entered a specially opened VIP entrance. When they reached the end of the passage, a grey-robed elder smiled and said, "Honored guests, your follower can only stop here."

Yu Sen and the other two made a gesture to the guards at the front and back of the carriage. To be able to hold an auction that would attract the participation of many rich and powerful families from the continent, they naturally had their own ways of defending themselves.

Following which, Yu Sen and Duanmu Ruoxue handed over their respective jade plates. The old man accepted it and waved his hand. Two young ladies hidden at the side walked up and took a jade plate from the old man, then led Lee Xun and the rest to continue walking inside.

After walking around two hundred meters, Lee Xun saw a miniature Space Teleportation Array. The reason it was called a miniature Space Teleportation Array was because it was indeed very small, smaller than any Space Teleportation Array he had ever seen before.

Lee Xun thought, could it be that he still needed to use the Space Teleportation Array to enter the box? Sure enough, under the instructions of a young lady, Duanmu Ruoxue and the other two girls entered the Space Teleportation Array and disappeared from his sight.

Lee Xun realized that he was inside a luxurious and elegant private room, but it wasn't very big, only around 18 square meters. There were only six seats in the private room, and it was arranged in a fan shape with a half meter diameter crystal ball in the center. When Lee Xun sat down, he realized that there were three crystal buttons on the seat: Red, Blue and Yellow.

The young lady took out two bottles of red wine from a cabinet to the side and opened them, pouring a cup for Lee Xun and the other three. After adding a stopper to the cup, she added some fruits and said: "Honored guests, if there is anything else you need, please press the yellow crystal stone on your seat. Saying so, he left through a secret door.

Lee Xun picked up the wine cup in front of him and took a whiff. It was extremely fragrant and he immediately determined that it was more than two hundred years old.

"You three, don't laugh at me. This is the first time I've been to such an auction. Can you tell me what the use of this red and blue crystal buttons are? And what is the purpose of this crystal ball?"

Mo Lin said. Mo Lin, the three of them were at first stunned, but after that, they started to laugh. Mo Lin said: "Lee Xun, you are really too cute, looks like you have been locked in the clan training hard these past few years, you haven't interacted much with the outside world, right?"

Lee Xun laughed, "That's right, I've only been out for less than half a year, don't make fun of me."

Mo Lin nodded his head, and said: "The blue button is normally used for increasing the price, when the target is out, there will be a low price. Every time the auctioneer raises the price, if they want to bid, they will press the blue button, and with the increase in the price, the number of people pressing the blue button will gradually decrease. This process is very fast, and when there are still four or five places left, the auctioneer will set a price increase, and pressing the blue button will increase the price by one more than the highest bid. If this process is considered slow, you can press the red button to directly quote a relatively high price. Usually, only a few people would be able to compete with the final item. Everyone would choose the red button and directly bid. There was no need to worry about your voice being recognized. It was all processed. The crystal ball in front of us is for imaging purposes, and every box has it. Right now, you should be able to see how many people are outside. There are at least a hundred thousand people participating in this auction, but most of them are just here to join in on the fun. For ordinary people, it's hard to see what's on the target for such a large auction house, if they don't sit close to it. So for people of a certain scale, they would use this crystal display device. "

thought that it was rather interesting after listening to his explanation. Wasn't the Crystal Image the same as the big screen or three-dimensional imaging device on Earth in his previous life?

"Hehe, Brother Mo Lin, I understand."

Bao Wei continued: "Usually, when the auction starts, there will be an item that is ranked within the top ten today to stir up the atmosphere. From the value of the first item and the final price, we can roughly determine the overall level of this auction as well as the intensity of the competition."

Mo Lin then continued, "Lee Xun, don't look at how we are all princes and princes of an empire. Honestly speaking, we are not even qualified to compete for today's first item."

Lee Xun was puzzled, and asked: "What do you mean by that?"

"Although the amount of money that we can transfer is very substantial, compared to those large merchant guilds and the large aristocratic families, the difference is huge. If we were to ascend to the throne, we might even be able to compete. " Mo Lin laughed bitterly.

"Lee Xun, I think you should be the richest out of the four of us. In this kind of large-scale auction, the ones who stand out the most are usually the disciples of underworld clans. Even though you had always been unwilling to say exactly which family you came from, to have your Duanmu Clan treat you like this, it can be seen that your identity is definitely not ordinary. " Yu Sen said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

"Hehe, talking about money is too vulgar. As for my identity, please forgive me for not revealing it to you. When the time is ripe, I will definitely let you know. "

Hearing Lee Xun say that, the three of them felt their hearts itch, they wanted to grab Lee Xun's neck and force him to say it.

Mo Lin laughed: "Lee Xun, when the time comes, you better not scare us like this."

"Hehe, just don't despise me when you all fall."

At this moment, the three of them were already completely sure that Lee Xun's identity was definitely not ordinary. They were both princes of an empire, so it was natural that they had to observe their words and expressions. Just now, Lee Xun had not taken his identity seriously, and had been able to deduce a few things from his tone.
